To help everyone enjoy the concert, please avoid leaving single-seat gaps when selecting your seats. The ticket link is below.
2) Holiday Band Concert Volunteers – We are looking for volunteers to help scan tickets, distribute programs, usher, sell donuts, and assist in other important roles. Thank you so much for supporting our students and families.
3) Donut Sales – MBPA will be selling boxes of glazed donuts for $15 from a new vendor. Welcome to Donut Land in Brunswick!! You don’t want to miss these before they sell out!!

6) MARCHING BAND 2026 – There was already a date change made by OMEA and I am working on updating the calendar accordingly. I will be sending an email soon with tentative rehearsal dates and performance dates. I know how important it is to get this information out early. Many families, including mine, like to make summer travel plans as far in advance as possible.
Reminder, all families of juniors who attend the MCCC. I do not know how, but I will make sure one way or another that your child can participate in marching band their senior year if they so desire. Please just make sure that your student is communicating with me so that we can work it out together.
Please let me know if you have any questions, and thank you for your continued support of our band programs.
